Re: No they don't, at least not in my reply. Camilla Send a noteboard - 14/04/2011 04:38:37 PM
Punctuation marks are only supposed to go inside quotation marks when an entire sentence or independent phrase is being quoted. When isolated words are put in quotation marks, the punctuation goes OUTSIDE the quotation marks.

So:
